    Just received a refurb XPS m1330, when I enter the system identifier on Dell's website, it says that I have a three year completecare warranty. Does that actually come with this computer or was that just something the prior owner bought and when he or she returned it, should've been or will be removed?

    Thanks

    Probably belonged to prior owner if you did not pay for it they will not recognize it, I tried that on my 1210 and they just said that the information took a while to get updated.

    I think it's worth checking with Dell. On the Dell outlet in Canada, prices vary for open-box items, depending on the length of warranty associated with the product. This is is a selling point. You may have paid for Completecare when you bought the computer.

    Are you sure you didn't buy it with the complete care in it and not realizing it?
